Abstract

A new probe (SRh) which based on dual-binding benzene and rhodamine B conjugate derivatives for hypochlorite detection was developed. By desulfurization effect, probe SRh displayed"Off-On" switching in its fluorogenic and chromogenic responses to hypochlorite. The detection limit of ClO- was at a low level (up to 2.43 nM). Moreover, probe SRh has been applied in bioimaging with good biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity.

Keywords: Bioimaging; Desulfurization; Fluorescence; Hypochlorite; Rhodamine.
